TV is a dumb waste of time

[JiveTurkey]

Annnnd just found it. As I expected then

[nightflameauto]

Go on.... is it PG13 or R Rated?

I would say PG13. Mostly rustling around under each others clothes while smooching. But the motions were fairly explicit and clear. And the camera lingered.

It's no Orange is the New Black.

[nightflameauto]

And. . .

Better Call Saul just as well be renamed Better Stop Being Cliche Stupid. I've been looking forward to seeing Kim's inevitable removal from Jimmy's life, but last night's did the most stupid cliche television bullshit I've seen in years. Seriously? Just fucking die already. If not for having other story lines going on, I'd be done with the show after that garbage.

I mean, I've seen people do the same thing in real life and think it's tragically stupid and idiotic there too. I really thought the writers of this show were better than that. I had faith that they had a decent ending to this shit story of Kim and Jimmy's shitty relationship. Nope. It's just gonna drag on and on and on getting dumber and dumber and more infuriatingly dumber as we go. All that's missing is them throwing fists at each other. Fuck sake.

Supernatural was fun this week. Alt-Sam and Alt-Dean were hilarious. High stakes and they're still bringing the funny. I'm really gonna miss this show. Apparently they only have one or two more episodes in airing shape and then they'll have to go on hiatus again due to the pandemic shutting down production. Fingers crossed the studio lets them finish when they get the green light again.

yeah.... Better Call Saul is getting..... odd... odd in that I'm not sure if they are building to something amazing and knowingly going down this seemingly cliche path is on purpose or if they are on auto pilot and need to stretch this out for another 2 seasons or the 100th episode...

With each step further down the path of stupid cliche, it's feeling more and more like door #2.

The worst part is the scheme Saul pulled was carton villain level stupid. I mean, I want to root for him to be more Saul and less Jimmy, but gawd damn, at some point there needs to be some sort of thought put into it.

I did enjoy the scene with the hookers and "Howie." THAT'S what I expect of Saul.

**needs further reaserch to confirm**

Since we have health proffesionals here:
Just reading about covid.. i have come across a bit of interesting information.. what do you guys think about this:

I was reading about Dr. Li WenLiang's account of his illness. If you missed out, he's the doc in Wuhan that was the first to warn about covid, got in trouble from China, and later got 'exonerated'. He died in february of covid.

He had mentionned that his infection started with conjunctivitis (1), red eyes. He also mentionned that the patient he caught it from had a high viral load(2). He said he also noticed that patient has red eyes.

Fast forward in Washington state, nursing home deaths... one of the RNs there mentionned red eyes, but she specified red around the eyes, no the white. She specified that all patients with those red eyes ended up passing away. She said they became recognized as an automatic ICU case by her medical team.

Next there is this article: https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus- ... 9-11963393

A patient with covid who has a high viral load (high density of virus per ml of blood), can infect someone and transfer a high density of virus, which translates into a high initial viral dose:

For example, if you are in a pub or another crowded space and a large number are infected with coronavirus but not showing symptoms, you will be breathing in a lot of respiratory droplets which are thought to spread the disease.

This will mean you will absorb a high viral load, which could be so great as to overrun your immune system and cause serious illness.

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-what-is-viral-load-and-why-does-it-matter-for-covid-19-11963393

So a hypothesis:

1. A high viral load can have an overwhelming effect on one's immune system. This can happen from either many exposure to viral loads, or a single strong one. Conversely, It seems like common sense that limited exposure results in a lower initial viral dose, which would give your immune system more time to develop antibodies... (likely why 80% of ppl have mild or no symptoms?)

2. Red eyes are a sign that may indicate a high viral load, or high initial viral dose. It may require immediate medical attention if accpanied with cough/fever/shortness of breath. Also immediate isolation, distancing.


If this information is accurate, Social distancing or physical distancing etc... are both very important parts of this pandemic. Reduced initial doses and recognizing high viral loads are both important to defeat this virus.

Of course this is not proven science, but still based on experience from health professionals.

**Needs further testing/reasearch to confirm.**

You posted that in the wrong thread, chief.

Yeah, they kinda jumped the shark with that, no way any law firm would not fire Kim on the spot.

They didn't jump the shark, they turbo jetted through that fucker with confetti after-trails.

Sounds like I made the right call to give up on Saul

New season of Ozark and Happy!

[JiveTurkey]

New season of Ozark and Happy!

Nice! Will be watching over the weekend. Wonder how Happy did in S2 as I didn't hear anything about it.

Finished up Baskets (what looks to be) final season. Started a little more "serious" and wondered how it was going to pan out but glad we did finish up. Plenty of humor as well as some good feels you didn't necessarily expect because Chip grew up. Good stuff and out on a good note.

Also finished up latest season of Curb. Not as good as other seasons; despite a hilarious first episode and a good dose of Leon Black throughout. I'll watch another round if Larry dishes it up.

[Steinmetzify]

Started Mandalorian....I’m in but P isn’t sure. She didn’t grow up watching this stuff. Baby Yoda end of epi 1 might have clinched it.

Gotta say, I always enjoyed the mystery of Boba Fett, dunno if I want this explained.

Ozark. On Ep3. Getting toasty

on episode 9..... this show never disappoints.... worth the 1.5/2 year wait between seasons IMO

Yep. Finished it in a day Grest season. Again. Interested to see if they will keep it going indefinitely or wind it down. Actor that played Ben (who was in Banshee) was a great addition to the season.

Watched a few episodes of Happy S2. Christopher Meloni is still hilarious but I am not feeling another season of this villain.

yeah... he really does those super intense characters really well... SPOILER I have a nagging feeling he's not dead though

and GOD DAMN, that ending.... I want to say I saw it coming... but how it played out, wow... not so much...



I've been meaning to look at Happy but haven't got around to it... guess there's going to be time over the next couple weeks lol

[Pepi]

I try not to binge watch and do two in the evening

[spawnofthesith]

Half way through the new season of Ozark, I don’t know if disappointed is the right word, but it feels a little slow/lack luster to me this season

Dave on Hulu is ducking hilarious

Lol, Mandalorian is like an entry drug. I watched it before the current crisis/mandate to stay home and binge watch shit started, and now I'm halfway through season 6 of The Clone Wars. Which is a cartoon series designed for kiddies.

OTOH, I'm a Star Wars nerd from literally day one. i saw the original Star Wars movie in a 5:00 o'clock or so show on opening day back in 1977. the theater was about 2/3 full.

Other stuff I've been into lately: Altered Carbon, You.

And I actually liked Love Is Blind.

After all the talk about it, that was how I felt about the first season. My wife adored it, but I just felt meh about it.

Started Mrs. Fletcher. Pretty funny, but some characters just make you wanna punch the screen. Her son is ridiculously horrible. I did like his roommate when he brought up scoping chicks, "Wouldn't think you'd have that in you after jerking off over your dad all day."

Fear the Walking Dead has gone full kumbaya mode. It's an interesting contrast to the original show getting more and more vengeful as time goes on. Seeing Morgan get all happy/sappy was weirdly hilarious. Alicia still looks good in those black jeans.

Yeha I'm not gonna go that hard at it....we finished it last night and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would but I'm done in that universe for a minute.

Same on SW, was the first movie I saw in a theater in '77 and I was 3. Entranced for my whole life up until the newer ones in the 2000s.
